<p>[QUOTE="Atarian, post: 1372336, member: 34285"]Well I got the rolls a few days ago, and have selected some and sent them to be graded. Was pleasantly surprised. I'm sure the rolls were somewhat picked over, but did not seem to be excessively so. Found one that was toned a dark purple on the reverse. (???) Others mostly light tan to gold color. None of the nasty gray toning that is sometimes seen, and no spots.</p><p><br /></p><p> Most Ikes are not high dollar but if I can score just two of three I sent in at a decent grade (76P type 1 at MS65, a 78P at MS66, or 76D type 1 at MS66) I will have paid for them all. Well, figuratively speaking, since I would not sell them anyway. I gotta say the 76P Ikes are not the mints finest hour. Mostly weak strikes that could not begin to erase all the dings in the planchet. Overall pleased with the purchase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
